H Street Country Club MIXES IT UP WITH GINA CHERSEVANI

Updated Beverage Program Launched by Nationally Recognized Mixologist

Washington, DC - After an extraordinary reception by Washingtonians this summer, The H Street Country Club will be shaking things up this fall with the support of Master Mixologist, Gina Chersevani. The bar will feature an updated beverage program that includes inventive creations by Chersevani, whose artistic cocktails have been highlighted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.

Chersevani has become a nationally recognized talent with strong roots in the Washington, DC area. Her career includes leading roles at Rasika and Smith's PS7's Restaurant where inspired drinks landed her on the cover of The Beverage Journal's "10 Mixologists to Watch" for 2008 and catapulted her to the top of her profession. Chersevani's consulting engagement with H Street Country Club displays her gift of blending ingenious beverages that masterfully complement the uniqueness of the space and the food.

"We wanted to work with Gina since the conception of H Street Country Club, but timing didn't work out until now. We are excited about her creations and can't wait to share her remarkable cocktails with everyone", said owner Blair Zervos.

One of the most innovative concepts in Washington, H Street Country Club lays claim to the only miniature golf course in the city serving food created by celebrated, James Beard-Award winner Chef Ann Cashion and offers an already extensive and renowned cocktail menu. With the addition of Chersevani's creative force behind the beverage program, H Street Country Club looks to establish itself as one of DC's best options for food, drink and fun.

The H Street Country Club is open daily from 5:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 5:00 p.m. - 3:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The restaurant is located at 1335 H Street NE, Washington D.C. Walk-ins are welcome. To contact the restaurant, please call 202-399-HSCC (4722).

Gina is a very popular bartender and should broaden the range of the HHSC cocktail list. Hopefully it will get a better reception than Derek Brown's awesome cocktail menu at SOVA.

I'm excited about H Street getting more "cred" in the mixology department. I too have heard of this bartender and she's supposed to be a badass.

That said, to piggy back on the prior post, people that have yet to try SOVA's new cocktail list are really missing out. There's some great stuff there and, while it's a bit pricey, (a) the prices are par for the course for the quality level, and (b) I find it's great to stop by for a drink or two as a pre-game of sorts.

Just my two-cents.

and i'll just say as a layperson that i had one heck of a great date night at h st country club. fun place, good service, good times!

ps: what do people think of the h-shaped tree boxes? i worked with about two dozen other volunteers to put those up

I met Gina at the Farmers Market and I am really happy that she will be at the HstCC.

Soul Searcher- those flower boxes are great. i had noticed those while riding the X2. Way to go.

Gina is a superstar -- this is an awesome development!

Now if only HSCC served food downstairs that was as delicious as it is upstairs. The two menus have almost nothing in common in my experience.

Gina has come up with some of my absolute favorite cocktails in the DC area - I've followed her from Poste to Rasika to Tallula and EatBar in Arlington and now to PS7's.

Her involvement with the cocktail menu at the HStCC will be a big win.

Now if only we could lure her over to our neighborhood full time...

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: If you are missing a lawn mower (that has a big green shavings catcher), I just saw a man riding a bike west down Florida Ave with your lawn mower attached to the back.
